The War on Babies

Senator John Cornyn (R., Texas) recently introduced a bill
that would aid victims of sex-trafficking by utilizing fines paid by
traffickers to fund services for their victims. A good thing, right? Who could
possibly be against this?

Incredibly, Democrats insist that
those services must include abortion,
whereas the bill itself specifies that abortion will not be among the services
provided. Democrats are intent on blocking thebill until abortion is among the services the bill would provide.

Abortion is already legal. Girls
who’ve been smuggled across continents, held as slaves and been subjected to
heinous horrors are in need of a lot of things, yet all Democrats seem to care
about is their free and unfettered access to publicly funded abortion!

There is an overwhelming crassness,
coarseness and callousness that has descended on our society. We have been
desensitized to almost anything and everything imaginable. We have been dumbed-down.
We have been "euphemized." Some are getting euthanized.

If, perchance, we ascend to Heaven
to find millions- or billions- of aborted babies there, will we be chagrinned?
Will we understand what we have done?

I don’t want to write about
abortion anymore. I don’t set out to. I have no quota of abortion themed posts. But, to many Democrats, everything
appears to revolve around abortion. It is their Holy Grail, from which a
certain percentage of their leftist base are sure to drink.

To
deny aid to victims of sex-trafficking unless that aid includes
funding for abortions is a monstrous act, but what kind of coverage is this
getting in the mainstream media?

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

True Then, True Now

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
